There and back again, and back again yet again.

By Ryan Livingston / February 16, 2003 /

This is the saga of a hapless man’s return to college, in the vain attempt to succeed in life; written procrastinatedly, as would be expected from a college student.

Mission 1

By Ryan Livingston / November 21, 2002 /

Oddly enough there are those out there who follow these pages and wonder where is it all going. I include myself in this noble few. I have made it an outlet for comics and the odd review of past and present, but something is missing. I can’t let a killer title like New World Otter…
